Ice cream and a book? Don‘t mind if I do. 🍦
where were you that day
when it all went away — the
world that we once knew.
day of infamy,
thousands lost — landscape of our
world forever changed.
I have that morning burned into my memory. I was a senior in a private high school & we were in chapel. One of my teachers came in to tell us what happened. We had his class next hour & sat there listening to the towers collapse on the radio. #neverforget ♥️🤍💙
